Dragon Age Inquisition Release Date, Companions, Trailer, Gameplay, Romance Options, Characters, Bioware Reveals Some Two Handed Fighting Options [VIDEO] [PHOTO]

"Dragon Age Inquisition" has a November 18 release date, here is everything currently known about the game.

Gamers will be able to choose to play as one of three different classes. Each one will further break down into various specializations that will provide players even more class customization options. Bioware began detailing class abilities on Sept. 8 starting with a few descriptions of some of the warrior's two-handed weapon skills.

With earthshattering strike, warriors will be able to create a shockwave of area damage by pounding their weapon onto the ground. Mighty blow can be used to outright knock an opponent off their feet while whirlwind allows players to spin around with their weapon extended to deliver multiple hits to everything near.

Fans can expect Bioware to detail more class abilities before "Dragon Age Inquisition" release date Nov. 18.

Several core characters on "Dragon Age Inquisition" are available for the Inquisitor as romance options with Cullen and Solas as additional options.

Mike Laidlaw of BioWare posted the details the about romance options on "Dragon Age Inquisition" at the official forum site. According to Laidlaw, players will have access to 'core' and 'additional' romance options.

Core romance options available for the Inquisitor of any race:

- Cassandra Pentaghast is interested in male characters.

- Blackwall is interested in female characters.

- Josephine is interested in both male and female characters.

- Iron Bull is interested in both male and female characters.

- Sera is interested in female characters.

- Dorian is interested in male characters.

Two additional romance options were added for "Dragon Age Inquisition" as part of the extra game development of BioWare. Unlike with the core romance options, these two have more limited in scope due to reasons directly related to story arcs from previous games but otherwise equal to the core options.

Knight-Captain in "Dragon Age 2" Cullen is interested to female elves and female humans while the elven apostate Solas is only interested in female elves. Four other core characters in the game are not romance options -- Varric, Vivienne, Cole and Leliana, but will be friends with a meaningful storyline.

In a new interview with Game Informer, creative director Mike Laidlaw and producer Cameron Lee gave some details about 'Skyhold,' the castle which will serve as home base for the Inquisition that the player will lead in the game.

"Over time, as you progress through the story, you get to see it rebuilt and more areas open up. It goes from 'kind of wrecked castle' to 'your castle.' The walls are fixed. Your soldiers are patrolling. You see your support staff growing in number. Merchants come to set up station. You get that feeling of it becoming a grand, central hub."

Skyhold will also contain your war table, which is a lot like the war room in "Mass Effect 3"

"The war table is your central command. You get the sense that that the things you're doing - from throwing little rocks in the pond to tossing a boulder now and then - the war table tells the story of the Inquisition's growth and helps you, as commander, make decisions... You start feeling like you have this massive influence throughout the world, and you get these detailed reports back from your advisors."

There also will be a bunch of new followers that can join your team.

Blackwall is a Grey Warden Constable. He is described as a devoted follower of his creed, a man who underwent the Joining voluntarily. Also, he likes dogs.

Then there Cassandra Pentaghast, who is a Nevarran Seeker, the famed Hero of Orlais and the Right Hand of the Divine. Cassandra is a character who has appeared previously in Dragon Age 2 and was the star of the "Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker." She is also a warrior and an avid hater of mages, as anyone invlovd with the Chantry tends to be.

Next up is Cole, a Spirit and the Ghost of the White Sphere. He is some form of human that lingers between the realms of the real world and the Fade. Thought by some to be a demon in disguise.

Finally there is Vivienne: an Orlesian mage and Enchanter to the Imperial Court. She transfomred her position under the Orleasean Empress Celene from court jester to advisor.

The game will also include a dwarf, two elves, a man, and a Qunari named Iron Bull as potential companions.

Again, "Dragon Age Inquistion" has a November, 18th release date. Check back for more information as we get closer to the release date.
